Just Like Daddy

Nathan was re-winding his reels last night. Mack picked up one of the rods and started waving it around. Thus began the cutest fishing lesson ever!

Just you wait Mack, next year your birthday present is going to be a fishing rod!

Christmastime was here... like a month ago

Here are some pictures of Mack helping decorate our tree. We didn't get a tree until about a week before Christmas, and if we'd waited two more days we could have saved $30. Oh well, it was the perfect size tree for our apartment, and Mack absolutely loved it. 

I borrowed a silhouette and some white vinyl from a friend and made snowflakes for our window. I love the way they turned out and they're still up. I don't plan to take them down until spring.

 We had a hard time getting Mack to leave the tree alone. He thought it was pretty, so he kept playing with the ornaments. All the fragile ones slowly made their way to the top portion of the tree, while only our teddy bear ornaments and a handful of broken candy canes stayed down at the bottom.

His wooden construction vehicles from Grandma Smith. He loves these!

This is a sheet set from his Grandma Great.

He kept showing Nathan his muscles. He's absolutely hilarious!

Puzzle set. He's still too little for these, but once he starts learning to read they are going to be awesome.

Mack loves this book. It's a little book about construction workers. It's by the same person who wrote the little dinosaur book he has, Byron Barton.

We didn't take a whole lot of pictures, but we spent the rest of the day over with Tony and Angie, and forgot to bring our camera. Dinner was scrumptious. 

I got tickets to go see "Lame is"

I love my husband.

It's been more than 2 years, but still less than 3, and holy cow I'm still crazy about him!

Maybe Not...

Remember this from last week's throwback Thrusday?

"I don't care much for fish, but this one that Nathan caught is rather pretty."

Nathan informed me that he did not, in fact, catch this fish. The pictures were from his phone, and they were ones he had downloaded from the internet to use as a wallpaper.
I felt a little silly.

We live in Rexburg, and because there's not always much to do, sometimes we go to Walmart and hang out. It's lame, I know, but how fun is this picture?

Nathan and some of his Del Sol buds.

Here we see Nathan making a Jana sandwich. 

Nathan got a fish! He has always loved fishing and camping and hunting. His mom says that when he was little they would get home from camping and he would just cry and beg to go camping again.

We took some family pictures

4th of July

Well, it's pretty late, but here are a few pictures of what we did on July 4th.

Carson, Alaina, Nathan and Tony had fun throwing poppers at each other's feet.

The Rexburg firework show was really lame. It not only started, but also finished before the sun was completely down. So it was a good thing we had a few of our own.
